Crane

Lift containers with ease - michaelsauter.github.io/crane

Overview

Crane is a Docker orchestration tool similar to Docker Compose with extra features and (arguably) smarter behaviour. It works by reading in some configuration (JSON or YAML) which describes how to run containers. Crane is ideally suited for development environments or continuous integration.

Features

Extensive support of Docker run flags
Simple configuration with 1:1 mapping to Docker run flags
docker-compose compatible
ultra-fast bind-mounts via Unison on Mac
Shortcut commands
Flexible ways to target containers (through groups and CLI flags to exclude/limit)
Smart detach / attach behaviour
Verbose output which shows exact Docker commands
Hooks
... and much more!
